Hi, Thanks to all who replied to my original question : > We've been having problems with the clock on said box for the last few > days.

Someone suggested maybe a battery problem? All responses suggested hardware failure, though probably not the battery (this may have been the case if the machine was loosing time once switched off). One person also suggested a possible NTP problem. We ruled this out by turning NTP off. We've swapped the machine out for a new one and all seems to be fine again. I will post a followup if we ever pinpoint exactly what the problem was.
